This is awesome! This is a small thing; all the comments have one child. It would feel more natural with some entropy.

And the original/derivative doesn’t span full width on mobile. Fixing that too would make it look very authentic.

good point. some of the comments actually do have >1 children, e.g. a few here (https://sw.vtom.net/hn35/item.html?id=90098555), but it'd be better if more random

Ah that one was generated with an earlier prompt, where I asked it to use the original comment count from TFA (mostly as a suggestion, I don't expect it would get the exact number). Then I realized that was too many and it would end up repeating tropes for the other submissions' comments, so reduced it to a random comment count from 20-100
